I'm not an expert in any way, but reading all these posts on these forums and on the Nisus forum, about people who are having continual crashes with software which has been completely stable for me for long, long periods, has made me think about it. The problem has more been with NWE, which when I have had one crash, although the system apparently continues to run fine as do all other apps, NWE has then had a tendency to be unstable and crash again ... until I reboot my computer.
So I've been wondering: are those who suffer from repeated crashing the people who leave their computers running 24/7 for long, long periods, only restarting when some system upgrade requires it? When an app crashes, does it leave behind somewhere in the system bits of code that aren't deleted when the crash happens and these continue to affect the stability of that app, but that shutting down and restarting removes any of those bits of code from the disk in the usual shut down clean-up procedure?
I have used a laptop for the last 5 years or so, it goes with me most places, and I shut it down when I move, rather than just putting it to sleep; and apps which crash on others have been notably stable for me ... it has made me wonder.
